Compressed air piping size requirements are directly related to the maximum airflow going through the system. Your airflow is measured in cubic feet of air per minute, or CFM. The greater your CFM, the larger your pipes will need to be to avoid excessive pressure drop. When sizing compresse...

Sizing the system After you fix lots of leaks and lower the system pressure, you may end up with air compressors too large for your system. If that is the case, the compressors could be cycling more frequently or partially loaded more often and running very inefficiently when looking at spe...
This1″ Line Vacwas being severely starved for air and therefore not performing as expected. The1″ Line Vacrequire’s 14.7 SCFM @ 80PSI to reach the rated performance of 42″ of water column. Below is a table for Pipe/Hose sizing from theLine Vacinstallation manual that you can use as...
Using the sizingfactors above: 80 SCFM X 1.2 X 1.15 = 110 SCFM is the recommendedflow required. The compressor mustbe capable of supplying this volumeof air at the pressure required by thevortex tubes (up to 90 psi in thisexample).In determining compressor outlet pressure, severa...
